Overall, the budgetary process is a complex, comprehensive, public evaluation of the costs to provide necessary public services and the financial needs to adequately meet public demand relative to those services. Those services (including public safety, maintenance and management of parks and recreational areas and services, code enforcement and community/economic development, management of streets and public access, sanitary sewer, and stormwater infrastructure, and general public administration/communication) are provided through a complement of real estate and earned income taxes and fees for public services meant to create self-sufficiency of the Township’s operations and provide financial reserves to weather emergencies and plan for long-term infrastructure management. In accordance with State statutes, the Township and Authority enact annual balanced budgets no later than December 31 st, establishing the authorizing authority for expending public funds for the provision of municipal services in the forthcoming year.
